In a phone call with Jackson County Kentucky Sheriff Denny Peyman,
Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes said members of his group had
reached out to Davis's legal team and were already forming an
on-the-ground presence in Kentucky's Rowan County, but remained
tight-lipped on specifics, Right Wing Watch reports.
Rhodes said his group's action had nothing to do with same-sex
marriage, but instead was focused on his belief that Davis had been
illegally detained after being found in contempt of court by not issuing
marriage licenses. "As far as we’re concerned, this is not over,” he said in the audio
clip above. “This judge needs to be put on notice that his behavior is
not going to be accepted, and we’ll be there to stop it and intercede
ourselves if we have to."

Rhodes went on to compare Davis's plight to that of the Founding
Fathers, in that it deals "with the magistrates and the officers of the
crown who wanted to run roughshod over the rights of the colonists
without a jury indictment, without any of that."

Now, this is embarrassing. Some of our most passionate commenters who've supported the well-deserved opprobrium which covered Kim Kavis in this case are now at odds with the Oath Keepers.

And for a good belly laugh, the Oath Keepers said this has nothing to do with gay marriage.

To summarize: beginning in the early evening hours of May 1, 2010,
retired fire fighter Raul Rodriguez grew increasingly angry with a loud
party being held down the street by eventual victim Kelly Danaher, who
was throwing a birthday party for his wife.

By the early morning hours of May 2, 2010, Rodriguez decided to strap
on his pistol (which he was licensed to carry concealed), at least one
spare magazine, and bring a flashlight and a means to video record to
stand across the street from the party. He then proceeded to
simultaneously call 911, shine the flashlight repeatedly at the party,
and record events. Eventually he attracted the attention of the party
goers, who came over to speak with him, and events proceeded rapidly
downhill from there, culminating in Rodriguez shooting and
killing Danaher.

From my perspective perhaps the most striking part of this encounter
is how badly astray Rodriguez is led by his remarkably defective
understanding of self-defense law. His self-recording of his repetitive
announcements of “I am in fear for my life” and “I’m standing my
ground” suggests he feels the mere words alone bestow some magical legal
protection or authority at best, or that he was attempting to fabricate
a faux self-defense claim at worst.

A Phoenix man bragged about the double-safety mechanism on his gun, then
to demonstrate how effective the feature is, he aimed the firearm at
his head then shot himself in the temple.

23-year-old Christen Reece was out drinking and after he bars closed
at around 3 or 3:00 in the morning, he had a bright idea which he
presented to his six friends: “Let’s go to the high country and shoot
guns,” he said.

“You know, there’s not really a lot to the story other than don’t
drink and shoot guns,” explains Jim Molesa, chief deputy of the Navajo
County Sheriff’s Office, which is conducting the official investigation,
according to the Phoenix New Times.

The friends ended up on the side of the road near a wooded area to do a little target shooting.Reece told his friends of the feature on his gun which had a
double-safety making it impossible to ever go off unexpectedly, so he
decided to demonstrate this for his buddies.

“He held the gun up to head, a little behind the temple area, and
fired,” Molesa said of the Sept 2nd incident. “He immediately dropped to
the ground, and his acquaintances started freaking out, not sure what
to do.”

Reece’s friends panicked. There was no hospital nearby, so they took
his unconscious and bloody body to the fire station, where paramedics
were on duty.
